Windows 7: Power supply problems?

Just make sure the video card doesn't need extra six pin plugs. If it does, you should hook them up. Mine requires two six pin plugs. also, a lot of motherboards require the extra 4 -8 pin be hooked up near the processor. I have made the mistake of not hooking it up before. :/ Also, unless you live in Europe, make sure your Power Supply switch on the back is at 115V.

Well I hope that the PSU isn't bad from the get go and also in a perfect world we would have directed you to a host of top quality brands which would outperform this unit with higher ratings and also have either a semi or total modular design which allows you to only use the connectors you need and no more. So lets hope the PSU is faulty and then you just have to RMA it. If they give you grief then try to work your money back and then hit us up so we can suggest quality options that you can carry forward to you next several builds.

Power supply not enough?Hello,
I recently built a new computer and it has been running fine without any problems. Although, whenever I play games like BF4 or CSGO the exhaust fan at the back seems to slow down a bit and has a little bit of clicking. Is my power supply enough for these components?

Power SupplyHello,
I am interested in the Nvidia Geforce N470GTX Twin Frozr II.
My current card is an Geforce 9600gt.
I believe my system currently got a 400W power supply.
Do I need to upgrade it? And if so do I need to check anything as in compatibility with my motherboard?
Thank you.
